Dated: 400-344 BC
Thessalian horses, noted for their beauty and courage, are believed to have originated from oriental types that were brought to Greece by the Scythians. Alexander the Great's Bucephalus was originally from Thessaly, Pharsalos.
The Thessalians branded their horses with different symbols: horses from Larissa with a centaur, Pherai with an axe, and Pharsalos with a bull’s head.
